During 2024 I had the privilege of attending both the Cape Epic and The Munga as a volunteer to capture the stories of the amateurs at the back end of the race. These are often the unsung heroes of endurance events as they spend so much more time on their bikes. These 2 events are very different in nature, but Alex Harris as a participant of the most extreme bike races on earth, is in the best position to articulate the differences in this documentary. Where the Cape Epic is very technical, the Munga allows the rider to look around and observe the landscapes. The 10th anniversary of The Munga saw its highest participation to date, with 230 riders taking on the challenge and an impressive 79% completing the race.
Let’s hear from the riders who have experienced the unique challenges of completing both the Cape Epic and The Munga.
